Henderson County Rescinds Burn Ban

The Henderson County Commissioners Court has rescinded the countywide burn ban effective immediately.

The decision came Monday morning after recent rainfall and higher humidity improved fire conditions throughout the county. The change follows a recommendation from the Henderson County Fire Marshal, who reported that outdoor burning can now be conducted safely under current weather conditions.

The burn ban was originally instituted on Oct. 21 due to increased fire danger. County Judge Wade McKinney signed the order lifting the ban after consulting with fire officials.

Residents are reminded to use caution when conducting any outdoor burning and to always monitor local weather and wind conditions.
